There's a lot of demand for the blue collar equivalent of CRUD apps that isn't met because there are no "cheap" blue collar professionals around.
A lot of people would be willing to pay a plumber to fix their sink, an electrician to replace a light fixture with a ceiling fan or a welder to build hand railings if there were more options for those services that fell between "licensed, insured and too expensive for you" and "questionable quality, affordable prices and nowhere to be found it it breaks"
I suspect I got downvoted because I called Vegas "low rent" which was interpreted as a criticism.
That said, its really hard to find reliable trades people there. Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, Etc. My typical experience is that if I manage to find one, after a short while they are over booked with demand. And Vegas has a fairly low cost of living (low rents and house prices) so it would seem that folks who are getting all the work they can handle are doing well.
It's true. I have a room in my house that has no electricity. I need a new junction box and wiring, maybe $200 job. However, my house is 60 years old and anyone who touches it wants to bring it up to code, a $8000 job. I'm not bringing the entire home up to code for this one thing, it's insane. I would gladly pay someone to just replace what needs replacing to the safe but 60 years ago standard, instead I have a dark room.
